After Li Yi spoke, the surroundings became quiet again.
Several people looked at Li Yi in a daze, unable to calm down.
Everyone didn't know how to express their feelings. They were all thinking about Li Yi's words that he was willing to let more people be rich.
Hearing this, they sighed with emotion.
"Li Dongzhu is benevolent and righteous. He even used grass ashes and salt to make the wheat moist."
"Isn't that so? I was on tenterhooks last night. Looking at it today, it's fine."
"Our village is blessed to be next to the Li Family Zhuangzi."
"In the future, the Li Family Zhuangzi will find people to help. Whoever doesn't go will be chased out of the village and removed from their records. They won't be allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death."
"Yes, they won't be allowed to enter the ancestral grave."
The people from the Zhang Family Village who came to see the situation spoke as they ate.
Li Yi trembled in fear.
In this era, death was already scary enough. What was even scarier was not being allowed to enter the ancestral grave.
Many women would risk their lives to be able to enter the ancestral shrine with their husbands to pay respects to their ancestors.
Wives could enter, but concubines couldn't. Concubines could only wipe their tears.
Some wives couldn't. The elders wouldn't let them, and they would commit suicide.
So … digging up other people's graves and poaching people for practice, once caught …
When Li Longji and the others heard this, they weren't afraid. It had nothing to do with them.
Instead, they felt that the Zhang Family Village was right to do this.
How much did Brother Yi help you? The things he made were used for nothing. He even braved the heavy rain to harvest wheat for you.
He did his own work and materials so that the wheat wouldn't go moldy.
The vineyard hired your people, not sent people to watch over them and beat them when they came.
"The fourth branch's fifth branch's mill still needs to be dismantled and shaved. The ditch is almost flat."
"It's still too little. Not all stones can be used to chisel and grind."
"Chiseling and grinding is a skill. If you ask someone to chisel, you'll have to give a lot of wheat."
The people from the Zhang Family Village talked about the mill again.
Li Longji suddenly had a bad taste and asked Yao Chong, "Old Sir, do you know why we need to use the mill?"
Yao Chong returned a bitter look. What do you mean, Your Majesty? Last time, I embarrassed myself by threshing. This time, you want to embarrass me again?
Humph! Do you think I'm stupid? After that day, I specifically asked someone. Haha!
"Remove the wheat husks." Yao Chong answered with a knowing look.
Following that, he continued, "Other than using a stone mill, you can only use a stone jar and a stone pillar. Place the rice and wheat inside and pound them until the husks are removed."
"Of course!" Li Longji replied with a single word. He didn't make things difficult for Yao Xiang, so there was less fun.
Yao Chong was indignant. He rolled his eyes and turned to look at Li Yi.
"I heard that Li Dongzhu is always in favor of agriculture; if there is no stone mill, can he make a new divine tool to pound grains?"
Yao Chong asked, waiting to see a joke.
Isn't Li Yi very powerful? You can answer whatever they ask you.
Come, now that you don't have the money to buy a stone mill and you still want to peel the husks of the rice and wheat, it's your turn. Don't tell me you can't do it, humph!
Li Yi was soaking the deep-fried dough sticks in soy milk. Otherwise, the deep-fried dough sticks would be crispy and he would accidentally break his upper jaw.
This soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks were a perfect match.
Hearing the old man's question, he stopped and turned to look, "Brother Wang San, don't eat first. Please bring me the grain that I made a few days ago. It's the thing made of bamboo, wood and mud. :
"Also, get some wheat. Ask two people to push it. It's tiring to push it alone."
The person next to him stood up and rushed out without saying a word.
Yao Chong: "… …"
His head was full of question marks again.
What does this mean? You have it? You made it? Bamboo, wood and mud are enough?
Can you do this? You have it when I ask you? I want to fly, send me to the sky.
"Hahahaha ~ ~" Empress Wang covered her mouth and laughed. She stretched out her hand and naturally placed it on Li Yi's head and rubbed it.
"Hmph!" Li Chengqi's face was facing the canteen at a 45-degree angle, but his eyes were squinting at Yao Chong. His meaning was self-evident.
"Hmph!" Yao Chong stared at him.
"Haha!" Li Longji ate the fermented bean curd. He found this new thing delicious.
Li Yi tied his hair again. He didn't understand what their expressions meant.
After a while, Brother Wang San, who had just gone out, came in with four people holding large umbrellas. They pushed something on a flatbed cart.
The villagers glanced at it and continued eating. They knew what it was. It was made by Dongzhu.
They also knew that they had to give it to others for free.
"Dongzhu, everything is here," Brother Wang San reported.
"Thank you, Brother Wang San." Li Yi thanked him.
He stood up and asked someone to carry the things down from the upper floor.
He introduced, "It's hard to find good stone millstones and stone carvings."
"I used bamboo to form a circle and filled it with soil. Then, I placed the wooden pieces like the grooves of the millstone and pressed them into the soil."
"Press the soil with all your strength. This way, it will become the millstone under the millstone."
"Make another one. Do the same thing. It will become the millstone above the millstone."
"When the soil hardens, it will be as good as the millstone. Moreover, with the addition of a connecting rod, one person can push and pull it."
"This thing is called a grain husk. It doesn't need to be so big to grind wheat. This is made bigger to grind rice better."
"This thing is called a husk. It takes some time to make. It needs to be dry before it can be used."
"The other kind is simple. It is called a wood husk. It is directly made of wood and is good for soldiers on the march."
"A wood husk can only grind very dry rice or wheat."
"A husk can grind wet rice or wheat."
"Generally, a stone husk can grind out 200 stones of rice or wheat before it spoils."
"A wood husk can only be used by people with strength. A woman with a husk can also be used by weak people."
Li Yi's words were not so polite. He said it for the people in the Zhang family's village to hear.
After that, the people in the Zhuangzi village put the wheat grains into the basket above. There was a hole in the basket to let the wheat grains flow down.
One person stood there and stretched his arm forward and back. The connecting rod rotated around the whole basket.
The wheat husks separated from the wheat kernels and came out from the gap.
Not long after, a pile of wheat husks were removed. The person pushed and pushed. It was not tiring at all. It was even easier than the millstone.
"There should be a rope hanging from the top. It doesn't need much strength to push." Li Yi pointed at a place on the push rod and said.
"The ground chaff or bran doesn't need to be spread out. It can be blown with a fan cart. It was used in the Western Han Dynasty. But I didn't see it now, so I made it."
"The ground chaff can be poured into the fan cart. The fan cart will rotate and the bran will be blown out."
"Two of the two can be used, so …"
"You can use the foot cart and the water wheel." Li Chengqi answered excitedly.
Yao Chong wiped his sweat. He had a lot to say in his heart.
In other words, it was: F * ck, from threshing, shelling, and blowing the 'dust', everything will be integrated when it reaches the river.
If you can't find the river, you can use the foot to step on it.
Young Dongzhu, do you have to be so ruthless?
The people in the Zhang family's village were stunned. There was no need for a millstone. It was just a toy. Anyone could grind it.
The people in the Zhuangzi village took a look and ate their own food. Was there a need to think about the things made by Dongzhu? It was guaranteed to be good.
Who is the owner of this place? There was nothing that he couldn't make.
We have toothpaste and toothbrushes. You don't know that when you brush, there will be a lot of bubbles, right?
"Big Brother, Third Brother, I have drawn the blueprint. Bring the real thing back and help me promote it."
Li Yi turned his head and said to Li Chengqi and Li Longji.
This thing was from the Heavenly Works Kaifu. There were pictures and words. They just needed to follow them.
Li Longji walked around the table and stood in front of Li Yi. Suddenly, he reached out, picked up Li Yi, and spun him around.
He spun him five times in a row before putting him down.
Li Longji patted Li Yi's shoulder and touched his head. "Brother Yi, do you know what this set of tools means?"
"It means that we are still far from the combined harvester." Li Yi was confused and mumbled.
"Yes, it's a good name. Combined harvester." Li Longji took it out of context.
"Li Dongzhu." A person in the Zhang family's village said to Li Yi carefully.
Li Yi was shocked. "Don't kneel. I will teach you. Then I will make it by the river. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can grind it there. If you kneel, I won't give it to you. "
